Hi everyone,
There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html
(and lots of others...)
As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific
commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to
re-apply RPM scriptlets that are required by EL7 but removed from the
Fedora .spec files.
The scripts are available at:
https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms/tree/master/1.20/el7
There's also instructions there if you want to try upgrading to MATE
1.20 w/o rebuilding them yourself.
If these packages work for others, perhaps we can revisit the idea of
updating the epel7 branches of the Fedora git repos and submitting an
official update.
There's nothing here (yet) about building MATE 1.22 (which might require
a newer gcc for EL7), or building anything on CentOS 8, but thought the
CentOS 7 users might find this helpful.
